Nancy Pelosi sends fifth letter on Syria By: Ginger Gibson September 7, 2013 11:56 AM EDT
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sent a fifth letter to Democratic colleagues in a week in an attempt to bolster support for a measure to authorize a U.S. strike in Syria.
In the letter sent Saturday, Pelosi (D-Calif.) highlighted statements supporting the strike by President Barack Obama and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.).
Here in California, we are blessed with the leadership of Senator Barbara Boxer, who voted for the resolution marked up this week in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Pelosi wrote to Democrats.
Pelosi, who has said she will not whip an eventual resolution by applying pressure to her members, has nonetheless engaged in a public display of support. In earlier letters, Pelosi emphasized the importance of the strike and has told members she will be flexible about the eventual language in a use-of-force authorization.
With most Republicans likely to balk at the presidents request, any success in passing a resolution in the House will be heavily dependent upon Democrats. But Democrats arent enthusiastically lining up to support the president.
Pelosi also drew attention to Obamas remarks that he had not set a red line in Syria, but that Congress set one in the 2003 Syria Accountability Act.
In Sweden this week, the President said I didnt set a red line; the world set a red line, Pelosi wrote. He continued saying Congress set a red line when it indicated that in a piece of legislation titled the Syria Accountability Act that some of the horrendous things that are happening on the ground there need to be answered for.

Any state that elects people like Nancy pig lousy, Dianne Feinstein, and Barbara Boxer has to have a bunch of low information voters.
He does have Rep Pelosi with him. Its only a matter of time before she makes the following statement: We have to bomb Syria to find out what happens after!

I am simply not going to say what I really think.
Nobody sends 5 letters to sway someone’s opinion in 1 week, unless your insane.
That’s going to leave a mark.
Pretty good....they ought to run it again saying “was she right THEN or now”.
Just a flashback to that point in time, which wasn’t that long ago.
I’m sure no on in the press has asked her to explain this.
I cannot imagine anyone feeling blessed with the leadership of Barbara Boxer...
See tag line....
That's like saying that we are blessed with herpes.

That's a keeper!
See tag line....
Nancy, they’re just not that into you.
Why doesn’t Nazi go to Syria again to get this misunderstanding straightened out?
LOL
Shut up and go back to doing your cocaine.
She’s a true democrat who hates this country.
